Here is a little fella i found last year on a 1700's homesite that is still lived in. I gave it to the homeowner. He figures it was a salt spoon; cleaned it up and put it with his other historical stuff.

Here it is my first spoon!! I'm happy with it very ornate and cool find imo! Not silver but apparently was silver plated. An not your typical table spoon it's a colectiable! Wish I could find out when it was made and more info on it. It's a spoon recongnizing the crew of the Merrimac a ship that went down in the Spanish and American war. I find it fascinating and love it. To think I was just gawking at all the lovely spoons on this thread about two weeks ago....thinking man I have yet to dig my first spoon... then BAM over the weekend!! Enjoy! Happy Hunting!!
